## Resource

A beloved cougar named Joseph, who lived nearly 16 years at the Cincinnati Zoo, has passed away — leaving behind a legacy of quiet strength, playful mischief, and deep bonds with his brother Tecumseh and his keepers. Known for shredding cardboard, rolling in leaves, and even judging staff’s pace, Joseph earned trust through patience and rewarded it with slow blinks and gentle approaches. His loss is felt deeply by the zoo team, who remember him as stoic, smart, and profoundly lovable. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
